Yeah, I couldn’t procrastinate on deciding whom to vote for anymore, so I spent a dozen hours or so getting that done, and now I’m in recovery mode. Will post a turn when I feel up to it.

Setting up for a maxband fetch, and aiming for mass Skeleton production again, though I plan to tech in some anti-Orpal countermeasures before the reshuffle this time around. Putting the Bone Collector on point to soak the Baron’s overpower damage, will be sad to lose him though.
Looks like I was barely fast enough this time? Thank you, shuffler!

Tech II: Disease, eh? That implies Abominations, the natural enemies of Skeletons! I can’t allow that, and luckily I have spells in hand that can put a stop to it!

Gonna cycle in the Commanders in case I can get enough Skeletons to summon one in, as I think I have enough of a board presence to hold off D&D without teching in spells.
Okay, as P1 I’m at a disadvantage in the Tech II race, and I know from experience that disadvantage can be deadly, so this time I’ll try working in some countermeasures… Executioners and/or spells, details TBD…

I think I can afford to let my countermeasures slide for this reshuffle; he shouldn’t be able to afford anything too scary right out the gate. Going with Collectors again gives me efficient early combat strength and makes it look like I’m using the same unit-centric strategy again, perhaps?
Alright, can’t put this off any longer… what to do… Doom Grasp, I guess? As long as I can keep Garth alive, but… enemy Garth could use a Doom Grasp of his own. Hmm… guess I’ll try Executioners, as they don’t depend on having a specific hero and can also be used for defense.
